Mark Cuban was a guest on today’s episode of Victory The Podcast. The Pittsburgh native chatted with his friends from the show/movie Entourage about how before the Dallas Mavericks, one of his first forays into owning a team included talks in 1999 with Mario Lemieux.
First, we sold broadcast.com and I was like, “oh f—, the world just changed”. And someone called me up and Mario Lemieux wants to talk to you about the Penguins. And I’m like ‘OK, I’ll talk’.
And I didn’t know what to expect the first time, so I get to the airport, my buddy picks me up.
